edit appearances of layout

[chrismuktar]

Hi,

A quick question... If I click on a variable such as a 'View cart' link and change the colour using the drop down/edit appearances box, how do I remove the colour alltogether? I've tried and tried but I can't seem to find the reference to my custom selected colour in the code.

I want it to remove the colour from the code and hence refer back to the default for that CSS class.

Any help much appreciated,
Thanks,
Chris.

There used to be an issue with inline editing causing some issues when reverting back and not all code being updated ... not sure if resolved as I don't use this facility. Best to switch to design tab mode, click on the link in the preview window and edit the code and CSS class in the code pane.

This is the "best" way to make changes like this rather than using the inhouse options (keep it all in the CSS)

Well that's just it; I've dug into the code and the CSS, and I can find no reference to a specific inline change of colour, or any reference to that colour at all.

I have no idea where it's getting it from, and wish I hadn't touched it!

a little more research has indicated that the variable text now reads:

<span style='color: #0000ff;'>Checkout</span>

instead of just Checkout. I found this out by looking at the output in the browser; it doesn't appear anywhere inside actinic. I reckon the behaviour of the variable must have changed, but I can't seem to find the detailed settings for the variable configuration; where should I look?

If you are sure it is not coming from the design tab may be worth looking in the site "text" to see if it has been placed there.

Failing not being able to find you can always enter the library, right click the layout in use and select "revert to factory"

looked in the "Text", no luck. Also did revert to factory on variable, still no luck. It's not in the code, it's not in the database (i had a look with access)... any other ideas? I'm completely stumped...

Got it! needed to switch code window to advanced view and there it was!

Thanks for all your help!
